Total eclipses are incredibly powerful alignments of the Sun, Moon and Earth. They have two distinct patterns through time, the 18 year Saros cycle and the 19 year Metonic cycle. This eclipse is linked to eclipses and events in 1998 and 1999. When Donald Trump was elected back in November last year I noticed that […]

Mars will commence a new synodic cycle just after this New Moon, heralding an important directional change. It’s time to assess the past two years. What have we learned about ourselves? What have been the results of our actions? What have we achieved? Are we ready for a new challenge and what is it? The […]

It’s been a year full of dramatic stellar events and this month is no exception. In many ways this Full Moon is a culmination of the winding road we’ve been travelling. At what destination will we arrive? Next month is eclipse season, a time of endings and beginnings, so this month is a prelude to […]

At this Solstice the Moon and Venus are shining beautifully together in Taurus in the pre-dawn light. This is a bountiful and peaceful combination that promotes love and harmony. The Moon is entering its balsamic phase at this Solstice, enhancing this quiet time of reflection and preparation, with a Cancerian New Moon to follow in […]

Supermoons heighten emotional responses, so following on from a Scorpio Full Moon, the whole month of May could be especially emotional. Venus squares Pluto now too and […]

The month of May starts with Mercury stationing direct on the 4th while making a conjunction to Uranus. This is likely to spark flashes of insight and provide much needed inspiration. This aspect is a rapid awakening, so matters that we may have overlooked could suddenly leap into our mind. This conjunction will continue to […]

Taurus is the sign of the zodiac that unites the fixed modality with the earth element. It’s known for its steadfast qualities and ability to withstand external influences. Taurus bases its judgements on core standards and fundamental principles that are immutable. At the same time, this means Taurus can be very stubborn and inflexible. This […]

April is named after Aphrodite, the Greek counterpart of Roman Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. With a Libra Full Moon and a Taurus New Moon at this time of year, it’s fitting this month is named after her. It’s especially apt this year because at this Full Moon Venus is about to turn […]

At this New Moon, Venus is about to be reborn as the morning star. Though still retrograde, you may be able to catch a glimpse of her in the morning sky from the end of March. The process of evaluation that Venus is currently directing has probably led you to a number of internal decisions. […]
